We are a friendly Church, offering a variety of services which appeal to all ages and situations.
The Church was built in 1970, previously being in the hall, known locally as the Mission. The Mission served Woolston as school, parish hall and Church for many years before ground was broken on a dedicated building.
The Church occupies a modern building, designed by George Pace with the idea that it would be a versatile space. The interior is a wide open space with removable pews, lending the building to many different events and styles of worship.
